BCS Exam ASTQB Topic 14 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's ASTQB exam

Question #: 45
Topic #: 14

You are planning to conduct performance testing on a new application. You have been given a set of personas to use during this testing.

How should you apply the personas in the performance testing approach?

APersonas should be duplicated by the automated tools to create virtual users who can create a realistic load on the system.

BPersonas should be reviewed to understand the individual tasks being performed.

CPersonas are used primarily for usability testing and should not be used as guidelines for performance testing.

DPersonas should be used to derive use cases which can be broken down into user stories and then scripted into performance test scripts.

Personas for performance testing? Now I've heard everything! Might as well use horoscopes to determine test data. Option C is clearly the right call here.

Personas are all about the individual user experience, but performance testing is about the overall system behavior. Option B is the way to go - review the personas to understand the tasks, then use that to build your test scenarios.

Ha! Duplicating personas to create virtual users? That's like trying to use a cat to chase a laser pointer for load testing. Option A is way off base. Personas are about understanding user behavior, not automating it.

I'm not so sure about using personas for performance testing. Aren't they more for usability? I'd probably go with option C and focus on other test approaches to evaluate the system's performance.

Personas are definitely the way to go for performance testing. Option D is the right choice - use the personas to derive realistic use cases and then script them into performance tests. That's the key to creating a meaningful load simulation.

I agree with Cassandra, using personas for load testing makes sense.

I think we should duplicate personas to create virtual users for realistic load.
